I've been a member of trustatrader.com for 3 years now and i can't fault it.
yes it's around £500.00 a year but i make that back within the 1st couple of weeks every time.

have a look at the site- and look at my advert-

look for electricians in WD6 and you'll find me ( Brighter sparks electrical )

i get around 75% of my work through trustatrader.com and have built up alot of good reviews, which in turn have got me more work-

from talking with customers that found me on the site, having lots of good reviews was a big part in why they chose me.

anyway, just though i'd say my bit-

the more doubters, sceptics and haters the better !!! ( more work for me. lol)

hi pete,
i reckon your one of the lucky ones then.
just looked at your site and i have more reviews than you and a higher % score but find the ad pretty pointless.
all the calls i seem to get from this ad are for small jobs, perhaps its the area you are in

You can join with elecsa and it is about £35.00 per year napit £50.00 ish a year and niceic more than napit just shows how much these people like to charge should be a standard price across the three

guess i am,

either that or i'm better at turning initial small calls in to larger jobs through active sales.

hope your keeping busy...

your probably right there lol
im not sure i could take on too much more work anyhow as its been manic lately
just wish the ad had worked better when it was needed during the slow periods, would have saved me from the dreaded leaflet drop
glad to see it does actually work in some cases though

So what your saying is that someone ring for a light to be installed ANC you then convince them that they need a new fuse board. Pressure sales don't u just hate them.

more like suggestions that work... and complying with the current regulations.

most installations dont have the gas and water services bonded, so that's a job that has to be done.

recommending an upgrade of an old crappy fuseboard for a decent consumer unit
isn't what i call "pressure sales" either- after all, it's our duty to make things safer/better isn't it?

 

[eddielarge]

I thought u might bite ,, just pulling your leg. And as far as trust a trader they are just a poor rip off of checkatrade.com

 

[Search A Trader]

Take a look at our website its a lot cheap. Search A Trader UK

any one used builderguide.co.uk ? its free to register but you only pay for a "lead" if a job comes up, doesn't say how much though!

BuilderGuide, Checkatrade, Trust a Trader, trustmark, myhammer, Ratedpeople, the list just goes on and on. What worries me is that there are so many of these companys cropping up since the recession, preying on desperate tradesmen, that even if people do use them, they've got about 50 to choose from.

I have never really had much faith in advertising for a job that requires you to be in someones home, sometimes unsupervised, because generally people prefer reccomendation from someone they actually know, in my experience.

The kind of people who actually don't know anyone that can reccomend an electrician and have to resort to a stranger off the interent, are not usually the kind of people I want to be working for and the jobs are generally small.

I don't actually have any experience of any of these companies this is all just opinion.

Checkatrade seems to be the only one that gets any recognition within the building trade.
